Feedback to a Mannatech Distributor... Help in Connecting the DOTS ON

CODEX

" IAHF.COM "

 

IAHF Webmaster: Breaking News, Whats New, What to Do, All Countries, Codex, EU

Food Supplement Directive

 

IAHF List: See my response below to Mannatech Distributor Nick Elgroth, and

please forward this widely to network marketing vitamin distributors world wide.

I am now wondering how many OTHER Mannatech distributors have been led to

believe what Nick believes?

 

The spin we're up against is outrageous!!! If you value your access to dietary

supplements, please forward this alert widely. Post it on websites. Post it on

usenet discussion groups, anyplace where it can be seen by more people. We're

running out of time. ANH will be in court January 30th and badly need more

donations http://www.alliance-natural-health.org

 

If you value your access to the supplements you use, you will print this out and

show it to every health food store owner within a 50 mile radius of your house,

and urge them to call me too. I'll put a message on my answering machine if I

have to, but its just AMAZING how asleep people are. You'll see what I mean when

you read Nick's feedback to me below...

Mannatech's Position on the EU Food Supplement Directive and Codex----

Help in Connecting the Dots.....

Dear John,

 

I am a Mannatech Associate and have just read your message about the EU. I

cannot understand the response of Sam Caster not replying to you....unless he

thinks that the decisions of the EU would not apply to Mannatech because their

products are manufactured to pharmaceutical standards, and have scientific

studies backing them up. I know that Mannatech has recently tested many products

taken off the shelf of health food stores, GNC, etc and found that many of them

do not contain what they claim. If that is the case, these inferior products

give us all a bad name. If you have read the Galaxo, Kline report that states

that they know that many of their products do no good for from 50 to 70% of the

people taking them. The drug companies know that but still keep selling them.

 

With the less effective products out of the way, the products that work would

have a better chance of being purchased. What do you think of this? Nick

Eltgroth

 

Nick-

 

Thanks for querying me, I appreciate your concern and interest in this entire

matter.

 

You aren't understanding what is going on, but I hope this helps you to " connect

the dots. " Please forward this to Ray Gabaur. I left a message on his machine

today but don't have his email address and would appreciate it if someone sent

it to me.

 

Sam Caster needs to look very closely at the fact that CRN is setting the entire

supplement industry up for destruction, and I don't make that statement lightly

either.

 

I just received an email today from Anthony Rees, a health freedom colleague in

South Africa where CRN is attempting to influence the South African Foodsate to accept mindless RDIs for potency restrictions on the vitamins

that can be sold there. I am forwarding this to Ant in case you'd like to

communicate with him, his email address is director

 

CRN is attempting to lobby against the current South African position at Codex,

which has been the only country to consistently stand up for consumers right to

access natural products. The South African Codex Delegate, Antoinette Booyzen,

has a sister who had a positive healing experience with dietary supplements, but

she is the only Codex Delegate on our side and the Codex vitamin standard is on

the verge of being pushed through to completion and will be unless we overturn

the EU Food Supplement Directive in court.

 

When I say this, I'm not talking about a situation that would only drive the

companies that aren't manufacturing to pharmaceutical standards out of business,

I'm talking about a situation that threatens to destroy our industry completely.

The Food Supplements Directive will outlaw high potency vitamins. It will outlaw

over 300 bioavailable nutrient forms present in over 5,000 products. The banned

ingredients list includes a large number of the safest, most bioavailable food

derived forms including such natural vitamin forms as mixed tocopherols (natural

vitamin E), carotenoids, and methylcobolomin (B-12), all forms of sulphur (good

bye MSM), boron, vanadium, silicon, and most trace elements, the most readily

absorbed and safest forms of calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, chromium and

molybdenum. It will severely limit the doses of vitamins and minerals allowed in

products, removing all high potency vitamins from the market. It will include

future restrictions on nutrient forms other

than vitamins and minerals such as fatty acids, amino acids, enzymes,

probiotics, phytonutrients, etc. The glyconutrients that Mannatech uses will be

outlawed if this juggernaut is not stopped, and the first domino has already

fallen... The EU Food Supplements Directive has already passed into EU law. If

its not overturned in court, you will witness the total destruction of your

business.

 

Mannatech isn't going to be able to keep selling any of its products in the EU

unless we turn over the Food Supplement Directive in court, and kill the

Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive, and the worst of the three- the

Pharmaceuticals Directive.

 

You need to grasp that we're up against a genocide agenda here, an effort to

cull our numbers and thats no exaggeration either. The world's ruling elite

don't want us hitting the entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid, etc " too

hard " they want us shuffling off this immortal coil the moment we turn 65, if

not sooner.

 

The Pharmaceuticals Directive turns any substance with any physiologic effect in

the body into a " drug " . It would turn WATER into a " drug. "

 

ANH just engaged in an emergency lobbying session in Strasborg Belgium (EU

Parliament) where they were able to get the IRISH MEP (Member- European

Parliament) to issue stop gap language to protect us for the time being, but

we're up against powerful special interests which politically dominate the EU

and they're not on our side.

 

Lest you think I am exaggerating, I encourage you to spend some time on the

website of the Alliance for Natural Health

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org and keep in mind as you read about their

lawsuit that their legal director is an attorney, and a Mannatech Distributor in

England. His name is David Hinde. I am forwarding this to you so that you will

have his email address.

 

David just met with Dr.Reg McDaniel in Texas, and was going to have breakfast

with Sam Caster but there wasn't time for them to meet.

 

David feels that Sam has a solid grasp of the situation, but I have no way to be

certain of that because Sam has not communicated with me so I really don't know

to what degree he is in fact connecting the dots. Perhaps he is not

communicating out of concern about how this information could impact Mannatech's

stock. Perhaps he naively thinks that just because he is a Board member of CRN

that he can sway CRN in ways that would protect Mannatech's interests. If thats

what he thinks, he's living in a fantasy world. CRN is dominated by the largest

drug companies on this planet: Pfizer, Wyeth, BASF, Bayer, and Monsanto and none

of them benefit from Mannatech's existence, believe me.

 

I was the first person in the world to call the Codex International Threat to

Health Freedom to the public's attention (with an article published in Life

Extension Magazine in 1996.) I have been tracking this threat more closely than

anyone else in the world since that time, and I've been a consultant to the

dietary supplement industry on legislative issues since 1989 as an industry

lobbyist and organizor.

 

I was kicked off the US Codex Delegation prior to the 2000 meeting in Berlin due

to my efforts as a whistleblower. An oversight hearing in Congress that I pushed

for for 5 years was whitewashed and the truth did not come out. The FDA has set

the USA up to lose in a future WTO Trade Dispute on the Codex vitamin issue, and

the only way we can protect our interests as a result is by working with our

international allies, including but not limited to the Alliance for Natural

Health in England. I have had death threats and constant threats of legal action

due to my efforts to call this matter to the public's attention.

 

My interest is in preserving my access to the dietary supplements for which I

have a genetic need.

 

My life was saved over 20 years ago by a suppressed alternative treatment mode

(orthomolecular medicine) and I have a serious need for the supplements I use.

 

I am one of the authors of the book Alternative Medicine- Expanding Medical

Horizons, which was published by the US Government Printing Office and is still

in print.

I'm dead serious when I tell you that the future survival of the supplement

industry is at stake.

 

If you want to discuss any aspect of what I'm saying, please call me at

800-333-2553 (N.America) I am in Washington State. If you call and I am not

here, just leave a message and best time to call back. Please forward this to

multilevel distributors not only in Mannatech, but in other network marketing

companies especially if they also belong to CRN. Any company that is a member of

CRN is threatening the lives of vitamin consumers world wide, and that is not an

exaggeration. South Africa's delegate at Codex is the only one totally on the

side of supplement consumers, and as I type this, CRN is lobbying hard inside

South Africa to try to get her removed from next year's South African

delegation. If you would like to confirm the truth of what I'm saying, send an

email to Dr.Anthony Rees in South Africa at director

 

I'd be glad to furnish you and anyone else who asks with an abundance of

documentation to back up everything I'm saying.
